FAQ

What is SlotRank?

We scan casino sites for 23 markets daily to find out what games they have and which games they place in their lobby. Some of these casinos have enough estimated traffic to be included in the SlotRank calculation, others will be excluded since their exposure towards players is minimal.

We aggregate this data and distribute points to each game based on its positions in the crawled casinos. Points are distributed based on lobby position (where position 1 will give the most points) and then multiplied with a weight-multiplier.

The weight-multiplier is determined by the geographical popularity of the casino site, based on estimated traffic (For example the largest UK casino will have full weight, and the least popular UK casino included in the ranking will have the smallest weight-multiplier).

What does the SlotRank metric have to do with the best slot games?

Online Casinos are very agile! If a specific game isn’t appreciated by players and does not deliver results, the game in question will be moved down or removed from the casino lobby. Simply put, SlotCatalog are convinced that exposure is heavily connected with quality.

Which releases are included in the data selection?

All slot game releases between the 1st of January 2019 and the 31st of October are included in the analytics insight report. The reason why November and December releases have not been included is that we want to measure the quality and stickiness of the games, which we explain further in the section below.

Why is the ranking based on day 60-90 SlotRank average methodology?

New games come and, sometimes, goes. Highly established game providers have their games published in a lot of casinos quickly, and their games automatically get a chance to prove their quality in the lobbies. If the release is of high quality it will stay at premium lobby positions. However, lesser-known game providers might need some time to prove their high-quality release.
